One Thousand One Hundred and Sixteen Hongyun Appears
Taishang Laojun established Buddhism in the West, directly replaced Tao Zang, and swallowed up the Western religion.
If the Two Sages of the West had not convinced Taoist Duobao to side with the West, I am afraid there would be no West now. The so-called Buddhism has also become a branch of Taoism.
Sage Taiqing used Buddhism to plot against the two Western sages, and almost destroyed the Western religion, which shows how powerful he was. Sage Taiqing was similar to Jiang Chen in doing things, and he always made several preparations.
When the first plan failed, he immediately hatched another one. To plot against the Second Sage of the West by resurrecting Patriarch Hongyun was completely the style of the Taiqing Sage.
Apart from the Taiqing Saint, Jiang Chen could not think of anyone else in the prehistoric times who would plot against the Two Saints of the West without leaving any room.
Even though Sage Taiqing usually met with the Second Sage of the West, chatting and laughing, one would think that the relationship between the two parties was very good. In fact, Sage Taiqing hated the Second Sage of the West the most.
Even Jiang Chen, in the heart of Saint Taiqing, was ranked behind the two Western Saints.
As for why Taiqing Saint hated the two Western Saints so much, it has something to do with the fact that the two rebelled against Xuanmen and established another sect.
Although in ancient times, or even earlier times, the Two Saints of the West had signs of establishing a separate branch. But it was just a sign, and the two did not take action.
It was after the end of the ancient God-conferring War that Western Ersheng completely rebelled against Xuanmen and established another sect in the west, establishing Shamen, which was the predecessor of Buddhism.
At that time, the person who was in charge of Xuanmen was none other than Saint Taiqing. During his time in charge of Xuanmen, he did not make any achievements, yet such a big thing happened.
The two saints carried a large amount of Xuanmen's luck and established a separate branch. Not only did they become enemies of Xuanmen. It must be said that this incident was an extremely heavy blow to the majesty of the Taiqing saint.
If he hadn't been strong enough and noble enough, just this incident would have been enough for him to lose his position as the acting head of the Xuan Sect.
Due to the identity of Saint Taiqing, the rest of the Xuanmen could not discuss the matter publicly, but secretly they were inevitably dissatisfied and believed that Saint Taiqing was not capable enough, which caused huge losses to Xuanmen.
Because of this incident, Saint Taiqing deeply hated the two sages of the West, and regarded this incident as the greatest humiliation in his life. He dreamed of taking back the West to restore his majesty.
The Second Sage of the West caused such great humiliation to the Taiqing Sage. How could the Taiqing Sage not hate them?
On the surface, he was chatting and laughing with them, and nothing unusual could be seen. But behind his back, he was plotting one after another, and each one was more vicious than the last, all aimed at the destiny of the Second Saint of the West.
First, he wanted to destroy the Western Sect, and then he resurrected Patriarch Hongyun. Both of these things could be said to poke at the weakness of the Second Saint of the West.
"Now we are in trouble. The Second Sage of the West will be in trouble this time. Sage Taiqing's calculations are still as powerful as ever."
After guessing that the person behind the scenes was Saint Taiqing, Jiang Chen couldn't help but look at the two saints in the west with a bit of pity. It was so unlucky. This time, it can be said that their lives were controlled by Saint Taiqing.
Already.
If the Two Saints of the West follow their original plan and still support Patriarch Hongyun as the master of the Buddhist world, they will indeed be able to repay the cause and effect of giving up his seat that day. But in this case, the Buddhist world will have nothing to do with them.
Since the Two Saints of the West made Patriarch Hongyun the Lord of the Buddhist Realm in order to repay the karma of the past, Hongyun does not owe them anything. After becoming the Lord of the Buddhist Realm, he naturally does not need to listen to their orders.
On the contrary, his own resurrection was entirely due to the help of Saint Taiqing, so that in order to repay the grace of saving his life, Patriarch Hongyun had to obey Saint Taiqing's orders.
Calculated in this way, if the Second Sage of the West continues to let Patriarch Hongyun serve as the master of the Buddhist world, it will be equivalent to handing over the Buddhist world that he has worked so hard to open up to Taiqing Sage.
This loss is not a big one, it is equivalent to giving away half of the foundation.
Half of the current foundation of Buddhism is Mount Sumeru, which is now in Jiang Chen's hands. The other half is the newly opened Buddhist Realm, which is currently ownerless. Whoever controls the Buddhist Realm is equivalent to mastering half of Buddhism.
foundation, and even the future.
Therefore, even though the two sages of the West have been involved in Buddhist affairs for many years, they still attach great importance to the Buddhist world and would not hesitate to fight for it personally.
According to their original idea, the two of them would resurrect the ancestor Hongyun and help him ascend to the position of Hunyuan.
It was in Hongyun's ancestor's heart that no matter how dissatisfied he was with them because they did not come to rescue him back then, he would not show it after receiving such a great favor from them.
Instead, in order to compete with Jiang Chen and secure his position as the leader of the Buddhist world, he had to move closer to them and unite closely with them.
In this way, the Second Sage of the West not only returned the favor, but also allowed Patriarch Hongyun to restrain Jiang Chen so that he could not turn Buddhism into his own Yiyantang. It could be said to be a double win.
It is a pity that although the Second Sage of the West had good ideas, they were not as fast as Saint Taiqing. He had already resurrected Patriarch Hongyun in advance, making all the ideas of the Second Sage of the West come to nothing.
…
What Jiang Chen can figure out, the Second Sage of the West can naturally figure out.
After another failed attempt, although they still didn't want to believe it, they had to admit that someone had indeed resurrected the Hongyun Ancestor before them.
This is why even though they tried their best, they could not bring the ancestor Hongyun from the past back to reality.
But who did this? Do you have to think about it? Apart from the Taiqing Sage, who else in the ancient times had this ability?
"Too clear!"
Almost squeezed out from between his teeth, Saint Zhunti called out the name of Saint Taiqing. His facial features were distorted, showing the anger in his heart.
Beside him, Saint Jingyin's temperament was much better. Seeing that Saint Zhunti wanted to say something more, he couldn't help but shook his head and signaled Saint Zhunti to stop talking. The matter was already here, it was useless to say more, it was settled.
No problem.
The most important thing at the moment is to solve the problem first.
I saw the reception saint clasping his hands together and saying with a sad face: "Since Fellow Taoist Hongyun has been resurrected, please show up to see him."
Let’s wait to discuss all issues until we meet Ancestor Hongyun.
Now, the two sages of the West are also in a dilemma. If they don't hand over the position of the Lord of the Buddha Realm to Patriarch Hongyun, they will not be able to repay the cause and effect of giving up the throne.
To hand over the position of the Lord of the Buddhist Realm to him would be to hand over the Buddhist Realm to the Taiqing Sage.
Right now, Mount Sumeru is in the hands of Jiang Chen. If the Buddhist world is lost again, then the two of them will really become the nominal founders of Buddhism. In fact, the Buddhist world has nothing to do with them and has no power at all.
Unable to mobilize.
The future of Buddhism is related to whether they can fulfill their great aspirations, so there must be no mistakes in the Buddhist world. This is the key to their control of Buddhism.
If the Buddha Realm cannot give them, what should they do if they are given cause and effect? If the Buddha Realm can give them, what should they do with their great wishes?
It doesn’t matter whether I give it or not. It’s really a dilemma!
…
"Fellow Taoist, do I want to come out and see you?"
In the Eight Views Palace of Shouyang Mountain, a middle-aged Taoist wearing a red robe, the Hongyun Patriarch, asked the Taoist Heavenly Lord next to him.
"Let's meet. They already know about your resurrection. There is no need to hide it anymore. In addition, the Buddhist world is indeed good. This is an opportunity for fellow Taoists. When fellow Taoists come forward this time, they will also take advantage of this opportunity."
Get it back." Daode Tianzun said to the ancestor Hongyun beside him.
"I have endured it for so many years just for today. What they owed me back then, I will get back everything today."
Ancestor Hongyun's expression remained unchanged, but his voice was full of resentment.
Who does he hate the most? It is definitely not the ancestors Styx and Kunpeng who killed him, but the two saints of the West.
When he died, the two people in the West had already become saints. In other words, they could save him from the hands of Styx and Kunpeng at any time as long as they were willing.
This is also the reason why Patriarch Hongyun didn't panic at all when he was besieged by Patriarch Styx and Kunpeng. He felt that based on the relationship between him and the Two Saints of the West, if he encountered danger, the two of them would definitely
I won't stand by and watch.
With the saint as his backing, Patriarch Hongyun certainly didn't panic. However, what he didn't expect was that the person who wanted him dead the most was not the Patriarch Styx and the Patriarch Kunpeng who wanted to kill him, but him.
The two saints of the West are in the background.
If he had thought of this earlier, he would not have fallen into the hands of Ancestor Styx and Kunpeng back then.
After all, Styx and Kunpeng didn't force him much back then. If he seized the opportunity and wanted to escape, he wouldn't be unable to escape.
It's a pity that Patriarch Hongyun trusted the Second Saint of the West so much that he missed the best opportunity to escape, and then he died secretly.
In other words, in Patriarch Hongyun's mind, he was indirectly killed by the Two Saints of the West, so he hated these two people the most.
…
Not long after the voice that greeted the saint fell, red clouds filled the sky and earth. A middle-aged Taoist with a rich face, a gourd on his waist, and a red robe walked out of the red clouds and walked to the west.
In front of the two saints.
"Two fellow Taoists, long time no see."
Patriarch Hongyun said hello to the Second Saint of the West with an expressionless face.
"Fellow Taoist, long time no see!"
The Second Sage of the West was a little embarrassed and even had a guilty conscience, so he responded sheepishly.
The person in front of them can be said to be their biggest creditor in their lives, and the one they least want to face. But the matter has come to this, and no matter how difficult it is to face, they have to face it.
"I haven't congratulated you fellow Taoist for his resurrection yet."
After calming down his mind, he led the saint to congratulate Patriarch Hongyun.
Hongyun's current cultivation level has obviously been based on the great supernatural power for many years, and he is about to enter the realm of the sub-sage. From this, it can be seen that he has probably been resurrected for a long time, otherwise his cultivation level would not be so much higher than before his death.
"I have been resurrected for a long time, but I have not set foot in the world of mortals. There is nothing to congratulate."
Ancestor Hongyun's attitude was still cold, as if he had no intention of communicating with the two of them.
"Fellow Taoist, it's really..."
Seeing Hongyun's attitude, the Second Sage of the West, who was already feeling guilty, didn't know what to say.
"To make a long story short, you asked me to come out. What's the matter?"
Perhaps it was because of his death that Patriarch Hongyun's temperament changed drastically. He changed from his previous good-natured appearance and became extremely indifferent.
"Ahem, it's about how to compensate Taoist friends!"
Saint Zhunti replied, even if he didn't want to face it, at this moment, he had to face it. The matter had been dragged on for so long, and no matter what, he had to find a way to end it today.
"compensate?"
"Isn't it simple?"
"The cause and effect of sanctification must be repaid with the holy throne. If you can come up with a holy throne, the cause and effect between us will naturally be settled."
Ancestor Hongyun sneered, not believing what the two of them said. If they really had the intention to bring about karma, they would not have just sat back and watched him fall.
"Okay, fellow Taoist, if you want the holy title, I'll give it to you."
To the surprise of Patriarch Hongyun, when faced with his outrageous request, the Holy Saint accepted it. For a moment, Patriarch Hongyun thought he had heard wrong and asked uncertainly: "What did you say?"
"Fellow Taoist, you heard me right. If you want the holy throne, then I will give it to you."
"But it's not now. My ambition has not yet been fulfilled. The holy position is just a trap. Even if I want to give it to fellow Taoists, Heaven will not allow it."
"When my ambition is fulfilled and the West ushered in great prosperity, I will give up my holy throne to fellow Taoists."
Saint Jieying said sincerely. This was something he had thought about for a long time. He had only told Saint Zhunti before, but now he said it in front of Patriarch Hongyun and all the great supernatural beings.
Such sincerity cannot be said to be insufficient.
Now all the powerful men in the ancient world have heard what he said. After the great prosperity of the West, they will give up the holy throne to Patriarch Hongyun.
If in the future, the Holy Saint Jieyin fails to do this and gives up his holy throne to Patriarch Hongyun, he will be breaking his trust in the world, and the consequences will be too serious.
The entire West may become a stinking piece of shit, and everyone is afraid to avoid it.
At this time, many people believed that what Saint Jieyin said was true. Even Patriarch Hongyun almost believed it.
It's a pity that Hongyun, who has already suffered a loss once, will never suffer a loss twice on the same thing. If the Holy Saint gives him the holy throne now, then he believes in the other party's sincerity. If he can give it later, then
It’s just pure painted cakes.
The future is ever-changing. Who knows what will happen in the future? What if he dies again? In this case, can the Holy Spirit get rid of this matter at no cost?
How can the dead become saints?
It's an old trick, everything will be in vain after death, naturally everything will be successful, no matter how much you promise now, you won't have to fulfill it after death.
Patriarch Hongyun, who had already been deceived once, did not believe a word of what the saint said.
I heard him sneer twice and suddenly said: "If you want to repay the karma, why bother? You don't have to wait until later."
"The Buddha Realm is so extraordinary that it is worthy of a holy throne. If you are willing to give me the Buddha Realm, then the cause and effect between us will be clear."
Coming, coming, Patriarch Hongyun finally revealed his true purpose, which was to come to the Buddhist world.
